1 Preheat the oven to 425° F (220° C).
2 Arrange the nectarine halves cut-side down in an oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Drizzle evenly with the honey and melted butter. Roast for 10 minutes. Flip the nectarines, sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
3 Meanwhile, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, honey, basil, mint, salt, and black pepper in a food processor. Process until smooth and fluffy.
4 To serve, spoon about 2 tbsp of the whipped goat cheese onto each plate and top with two nectarine halves. If desired, garnish with lime zest, chopped pistachios, and a drizzle of the pan juices before serving. Enjoy!
